Pidgin has terminated abnormally.  There really isn't enough information 
to say why, or even to know whether it has already been fixed.  The 
error messages would  be typical of many/most crashes when running on 
Microsoft Windows, so really don't tell one anything.

You need to tell us the version of everything relevant and what you need 
to do to reproduce the failure, including the identity of the service 
you were trying to access.  Do not include real passwords, as this is a 
public mailing list!

To stand much chance of getting a successful diagnosis, you will need to 
follow the procedures in the Windows sections of 
<http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports>.

If you are not using 2.7.9, you might also want to look at the release 
notes for later versions.  Also, have a look on the issue tracker for 
recently reported crash bugs.  If someone comes up with a more specific 
suggestion, it will be based on their knowing that one of these is 
particularly common.
